I believe it would be any number that is within the darkest shaded area. (-4,1) seems like it would be correct.
In synthetic division we write only the coefficients of the dividend inside an upside-down division symbol. As we can clearly see from the picture given to us in the question, the coefficients of the dividend inside the upside-down division symbol are 2, 10, 1 and 5.
Now, from the given options, the only option that matches the given coefficients is the second option which is: 
.
Thus, the second option, , is the correct option.
We do the midpoint formula to find the center of the circle to get the left side of the equation.
Midpoint = [(X₁ + X₂) / 2 , (Y₁ + Y₂) / 2]
Now plug in:
[(8 + 4) / 2 , (- 6 - 2) / 2]
(12 / 2 , - 8 / 2)
(6, - 4)
The center of the circle is (6, -4)
Now we plug it into the equation of a circle:
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² where (h, k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.
(x - 6)² + (y + 4)² = r² is the left side of the equation. This will eliminate options A and C
Now we do the distance formula using the center and an endpoint to get the radius. The formula for distance is:
√((X₂ - X₁)² + (Y₂ - Y₁)²)
We plug in using either of the endpoints.
√((4 - 6)² + (- 2 - (- 4))²)
√((-2)² + 2²)
√(4 + 4)
√8
√8 is your radius
(√8)² = 8
Your correct answer is (x - 6)² + (y + 4)² = 8, Option D
Easy. The answer is 10 miles
